D*mn, but I'd forgotten how good the Bonzo Dog Band (or Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band) are. Cornology (their collected hits) arrived today, and it reminds me of happy hacking days. It's witty, but listenable music, which I find great for coding. Pity I'm not doing any at the moment. Most of it written by Neil Innes, who also wrote lots of the music for Monty Python, so you're assured of quality. The guys in the band are great, too.

Some titles:

  • Cool Britannia
  • Can Blue Men Sing The Whites
  • My Brother Makes The Noises For The Talkies
  • We Are Normal
  • Monster Mash
  • Mr Slater's Parrot (British readers will know this from the 90's adverts for Cadbury's Creme Eggs, but don't be put off!)
  • Trouser Press
  • 11 Mustachioed Daughters
  • King Of Scurf
  • Humanoid Boogie
